ATOMOS delivers cutting edge products for creative professionals that merge recording, monitoring, playback & editing into a single touchscreen device to enable faster, higher quality and more affordable video production.I was given the task to work on a standalone R&D project in designing ATOMOS up and coming line of products that will enable high dynamic range (HDR) content captured from professional cameras to be properly displayed on an ATOMOS device that has a high brightness display. My work included modelling the HDR framework, which redesigns the opto-electrical transfer function (OETF) mapping of the encoded raw video signal that is outputted from different cameras (i.e. Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Arri). This modified OETF allows the viewer to perceive a higher contrast ratio in a picture when viewed on a high brightness display. The HDR model was then ported to the platform and packaged to the software team for integration to the system.My other responsibilities was to work on the application software (in MVSE) for screen calibration to control the colour saturation, colour temperature and brightness of the screen, so that consistent colours in the colour space is displayed between different devices.

Wolfson Microelectronics is a global leader in the delivery of high performance mixed-signal semiconductors and audio solutions for the consumer electronics market.My main responsibility is to research into efficient state-of-the-art background noise cancellation/suppression, speech enhancement, and wind reduction algorithms so that it can run on a real-time audio DSP for mobile handset and tablet devices. This is done to improve voice quality on a call and improve audio recording quality.My responsibilities also include setting up ETSI acoustic laboratory tests of smartphones for testing/tuning of algorithms in a soundproof room and wind tunnel chamber. In addition, my role includes interacting with field application and software application engineers in setting up tuning guides to assist with customer on-site tuning of the algorithms.

I was given the role to work on the ground with PCB assembly line managers to understand production issues due to poor PCB design. This included creating a design guide for hardware engineers to follow and familiarizing them with IPC standards. I was also responsible for the rapid prototyping stage of a portable electronic human vein enhancement device. The prototype was to create an assisting tool for nurses to visually enhance human veins by eye for intravenous access (IV) that uses image-processing techniques on a real-time DSP hardware.
